REPORT
COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
In conformity with the provisions of the City Charter and Revised Ordinances, the Joint Standing Committee on Finance make to the City Council their annual Statement of the Expenditures of the Finan- cial Year ending January 31st, 1856.
The total Income as shown by the Treasurer's account,
amounts to $96,900. 7X
The total Expenditures have been 90,487.34
Leaving a balance, including $2500 of City Stock, on
hand Feb. 1, 1856, of 6,413.44
From this deduct for unpaid bills, as per Treasurer's
account, , 1,940.37
Leaves 4,473.07
To this add the balance of Taxes for 1855, not paid in by
Collector, 11,326.43
And we have the balance of Receipts over Expenditures
for the past year, of 15,790.50
Deduct the Loan made this year, 10,000.0
And we have still a balance in the Treasury, from the
ordinary resources, of 5,799.15
The amount of outstanding bills against the City at the commence- ment of the past year was very large. The amount at the present time not collected, and allowed by the Committee on Accounts, is presumed to be very small. The present is therefore a favorable time to introduce such restrictions and regulations in the mode of contracting accounts against the City, as will enable the government at all times to know how far the appropriations have been expended, and to what extent the Treasury is involved by these incidental liabilities.
The Committee have brought this subject to the notice of the City Council, with the conviction that it ought to engage their immediate attention.
8
From the above statement it is plain that the estimates and appropria- tions made at the commencement of the year, were amply sufficient for the wants of the City, and had the money been in the Treasury at the time it was wanted to meet the payments, the Loan of the past year need not, and would not have been made. We would not be understood as ' censuring any one by these remarks, for we believe the fault lies chiefly in the manner of transacting the business of the City, and we think the interests of the City call loudly for a change.

I regard it proper to call your attention to the propriety of provid- ing a sufficient quantity of canvas or sail-cloth, for the better protection of buildings in the immediate vicinity of fires.
It is supposed that about nine hundred yards of coarse canvas cloth, properly prepared, would be sufficient at the present time ; the expense of which will not probably exceed $400,00. Had we have been thus provided with sails, we undoubtedly could have prevented any damage or injury to the buildings on the north side of Stark street, and on the east side of Elm street during the recent fire at Patten's Building.
It will be observed by the foregoing report, that our Fire Department has been called upon during the past year to perform duties more severe and laborious than ever have their predecessors ; there never before hav- ing occurred in this City two large fires, raging at the same time. — While the Manchester Mill was enveloped in flames on July 15, last, the alarm of fire on the street was raised. At this moment the leading hose of the several engines was attached to the Hydrants of the yard and strung up beside of the Mill ; and yet in about thirty minutes the machines were removed to the street and in full operation, keeping the men on the brakes about eight hours, working with a will and courage truly commendable. The whole Department is in an excellent condition, having the full number of men allowed by law, well disciplined and well organized, prompt and efficient, and ready at all times to discharge their duties as firemen.
My Assistants have been untiring and faithful in their efforts to pro- mote the best interests and welfare of the Department. The most per- fect unanimity of opinion and action has existed in the Board, and also throughout the Department during the year.

CITY LIBRARY.
In accordance with Section ninth, Article first, of the Rules and Reg- ulations of the " Manchester City Library," the Board of Trustees ask leave to make their second annual report.
The Trustees have to congratulate the friends of the Library on its continued success. As a matter of experiment, there may have been room in some minds, for doubt, whether the general benefit would war- rant such an expenditure as seemed just to the committee. They believe no such doubt can reasonably exist now. The progress of the Library has been steady, if not rapid, from the commencement, and it has been the policy of its directors to glide naturally, and upon its own merits, into public estimation, rather than to call attention to it in any osten- tatious manner. No reaction, therefore, is to be apprehended. The condition, value and increase of the Library will be seen from the an- nual report of the Librarian.
In the selection of books no department of English literature has been neglected, and no book purchased to which there can be reasona- ble objection. The task of selection, to suit every person's taste, is by no means an easy one, and some of the works of the day are, undoubt- edly, ephemeral and of little value. To all who have added to the Li- brary by donation, and especially to those persons named in the Libra- rian's Report, the Board of Trustees desire to render their acknowledge- ments in the spirit with which these gifts were made.
The Library commenced operations under adverse circumstances ; the rooms were small and poorly adapted to its wants. The appropriation asked of and granted by the city, rendering such a step advisable, the books were called in on the twenty-third of June and removed to their present location, in what was known as Patten's Hall, which was fitted up for Library, Reading Room and rooms for storage and miscellaneous purposes. In common times this ought not to have taken more than three weeks, but the great fire on Elm Street occuring about the same period, rendered workmen so scarce that books were not again delivered until the sixteenth of August. The rooms are sufficiently spacious, for the present, and are generally creditable to the City. The degree of

order and quiet in the Reading Room has been highly commendable, and the response to a small contribution, suggested by some of the frequent- ers of the Library, for oranmental purposes, affords gratifying evidence of the interest in its welfare. It may not be thought amiss to keep be- fore the public the ultimate necessity for a plain fire-proof building, for the preservation of property already too valuable to be exposed to hazard.
The Board of Trustees in closing, would refer the City Government to the Reports of the Librarian and Treasurer herewith connected, and can but give their conviction that the free City Library will, at no dis- tant day, become the just pride and boast of Manchester.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees — In accordance with your de- sire, I beg leave to submit the following report.
The whole number of persons who have complied with the regulations, enabling them to take books, to this date, is one thousand three hun- dred and eighty, (1,380) thirty-one of whom were qualified by deposit and the remainder by furnishing the required guarantee. Of these, seven hundred and sixty (760) have been added since the last annual report, and twelve hundred and twenty-five persons take books with more or less regularity at the present time. In two hundred and fifty- four days of the past year, seventeen thousand six hundred and forty (17,640) volumes were delivered from the Librarian's desk — an average of sixty-five per day. Out of this number, seven only, of less than four dollars in value, are found missing, without indications of the persons by whom they are held, while the amount received from fines and sale of catalogues, is twenty-nine dollars and thirteen cents (29,13). No books have been thrown aside as worn out, but eight or ten volumes of juvenile works are not worth rebinding. The whole number of books, bound newspapers and periodicals now in the Library, is five thousand four hundred and forty-six, (5,446) of which eight hundred and thir- teen have been added the past year ; seven hundred and thirteen by pur- chase, seventy-eight (78) by donation, and twenty-two (22) are bound volumes of magazines and periodicals taken for the Reading Room.
Donations of books and pamphlets have been made by the following persons : —
Hon. Henry J. Raymond, Lieut-Governor of New York.

Special Report of the Board of Trustees of the City Library to the City Government.
Since the presentation of our recent annual report, circumstances have occurred involving the almost total destruction of the City Library by fire, which render it necessary to make this special communication.
The facts in the case, so far as can be ascertained, are these. On Monday evening, Feb. 4th, the Librarian left the property entrusted to his care at a few minutes past nine o'clock, P. M., in the usual de- gree of safety, and not exposed to danger from any cause within his con- trol. At about 5 o'clock on the morning of the 5th, some occupants of the building who had sleeping rooms therein were awakened by the smoke, soon ascertained to come from the basement storey in which was a steam engine and press, used for printing all the papers of the city. It is said that no fire had been kindled there that morning, and the fire can only be conjectured to have originated from that remaining in the furnace, from cotton waste saturated with oil and used for cleaning the press, or some other unknown cause. An elevator used in connection with the printing offices above, gave the smoke ready access to the upper storeys so that the occupants of the building had no more than time to make their escape with such articles of dress as they hastily threw around them. It will readily be seen that no efforts could have saved the Library. At the earliest period after the alarm, repeated attempts were made by different persons to enter the Library windows. The books were so placed in boxes, that, under ordinary circumstances, they could have been removed in twenty minutes. Owing to the dense smoke only about sixty- two volumes were taken from the south windows, in two .boxes, by Mr. Henry Clough, a member of the Police Depart- ment.
This occurred within so short a time after the annual return of books that not above one fourth of the usual number were out. At this date the number saved and returned, amounts to about five hundred and fifty volumes, at the estimated value of $420. If this be compared with the Librarian's report of the 4th inst., the extent of the loss will appear. It will be borne in mind that the books returned are many of them odd volumes and broken sets, greatly reducing the former value. All the Librarian's books, records and papers, together with furnituro and fix-
94
tares to the value of $450, swells the estimate of loss. Several orna- ments and pictures, recently purchased by subscription, were also de- stroyed ; and the Board of Trustees especially regret the loss of a valua- ble painting, executed and generously loaned as an ornament to the Li- brary Rooms, by Miss L. E. Slade, said to have been valued by her at $50,00.
The Library was insured in the Etna Insurance Company for $25,00 00 to recover which the necessary steps have been taken. When this is done it will be seen that with the appropriation soon to become due, and the balance unexpended of last year, about thirty-eight hundred dollars can be expended for new books. Under the most favorable cir- cumstances, however, the Library cannot be opened to the public for two months, and possibly for a longer time.
The Board of Trustees regret the necessity of asking for any increased appropriation. They would, however, rely confidently on the wisdom of the City Government to enable them to meet the extraordinary con- tingent expenses produced by a cause which they hope may never again occur, and to give them the power of discharging their duties to the public at the earliest practicable time.

CITY FARM AND ALMS-HOUSE REPORT.
To His Honor the Mayor, and City Council:
Assistance has been rendered to 317 adult persons the past year. Of this number, 252 were county paupers ; 24 were paupers off the farm, and 12 were paupers belonging to other towns. Sixty-six of the county paupers have been sent to the farm at Goffstown, and 19 have died in this city. No death has occurred the past year at the alms-house, and there has been very little severe sickness there. Only two receiving as- sistance off the farm have died the past year. Sixty- three different per- sons have been sentenced to the house of correction ; 6 have been sent a second time ; 3 a third time, and 1 a fourth time. In all 79 commit- ments. The whole amount of board furnished them is 436 weeks, which, at $1 75 per week, amounts to $1060.
The annexed account shows a balance against the farm of $1958 37. This result is owing to no extravagance or bad management, that we are aware of; on the contrary, we believe the farm has been managed with as much prudence and economy the past year as in any former year ; and the following, among other reasons, will account for the deficit.
1st. The large amount of bills which have been paid this year, con- tracted in former years. Then the Board of last year made extensive repairs on the house, by painting, papering, &c, which, being done after the first of February, were charged to the present year's expenses. This amount has been considerably increased by grating the windows, and other arrangements for the better security of the prisoners. Then the large amount of board furnished to prisoners, with the high prices of provisions, amounts to a large sum, as is shown above. Again, it will be observed that many items formerly carried to the credit of the farm have, in this account, been rejected, as they do not, in the opinion of the Board, lead to a correct understanding of the actual cost of maintaining the establishment. Many other reasons might be assigned for the dis- parity between the apparent result of this and some former years, but the above are deemed amply sufficient.
The Board would here suggest that not only justice and human- ity, but, in their judgment, pecuniary considerations, require that the alms-house should be separate from the house of correction. To
97
compel the virtuous but unfortunate poor, not only to spend their day* of toil, but their few hours of leisure, the Sabbath and their nights, in proximity with the vile, abandoned victims of vice, who compos by far the greater proportion of the inmates of the house of correction . is, to give it no severer name, an act of cruelty, which no pecuniar;, consideration can justify. We repeat it, therefore, as our conviction, that the interest of the city, no less than the cause of humanity, call for serious consideration of this matter.
It is a question with this Board whether the farm and some other features of the establishment are not much larger than a judicious and economical arrangement for these two institutions require.
